A One-Night-Only Cabaret to Support Weathervane Musical Theatre Company Scholarships
Weathervane Playhouse proudly presents Broadway Comes Home: Marcus M. Martin in Concert on Saturday, August 23, 2025 — a special fundraising event benefiting the Weathervane Musical Theatre Company (WMTC) Scholarship Fund. WMTC is a pre-professional musical theatre training program for students interested in a career in the performing arts.
Akron native Marcus M. Martin -- now a standby Genie in Broadway’s Aladdin and former star of the show's North American tour -- returns to the Weathervane stage where his theatrical journey began. Reflecting on his roots, Marcus shares: “Weathervane is really where I fell in love with theater. That’s where I perfected my craft, and that really prepared me for where I am now.”
Joining Marcus is Patrick B. Phillips, a Broadway music director, who is currently working on Broadway's & Juliet.
The evening features both solo performances by Marcus and collaborations with WMTC student performers, highlighting songs including:
• “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin
• A medley from Motown: The Musical
• “Any Dream Will Do” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Bar Opens: 6:30 p.m. | Performance Begins: 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $50 per person (appetizers included, cash bar available) Proceeds benefit WMTC scholarships
